  1. The material body has no factual existence in relation to the eternal soul. It is something like a dream. In a dream we may think of flying in the sky, or sitting on a chariot as a king, but when we wake up we can see that we are neither in the sky nor seated on the chariot. The Vedic wisdom encourages self-realization on the basis of the nonexistence of the material body. Therefore, in either case, whether one believes in the existence of the soul or one does not believe in the existence of the soul, there is no cause for lamentation for loss of the body.

    A living being has different activities in different stages of life. One stage is called jagrata, or the life of awakening, and another is called svapna, or the life of dream. Another stage is called susupti, or life in an unconscious state, and still another stage occurs after death.

    Sometimes we suddenly experience something that was never experienced in the present body by sight or hearing. Sometimes we see such things suddenly in dreams.

    PURPORT

    In dreams we sometimes see things that we have never experienced in the present body. Sometimes in dreams we think that we are flying in the sky, although we have no experience of flying. This means that once in a previous life, either as a demigod or astronaut, we flew in the sky. The impression is there in the stockpile of the mind, and it suddenly expresses itself. It is like fermentation taking place in the depths of water, which sometimes manifests itself in bubbles on the water's surface. Sometimes we dream of coming to a place we have never known or experienced in this lifetime, but this is proof that in a past life we experienced this. The impression is kept within the mind and sometimes becomes manifest either in dream or in thought. The conclusion is that the mind is the storehouse of various thoughts and experiences undergone during our past lives. Thus there is a chain of continuation from one life to another, from previous lives to this life, and from this life to future lives. This is also sometimes proved by saying that a man is a born poet, a born scientist or a born devotee. If, like Maharaja Ambarisa, we think of Krsna constantly in this life (sa vai manah krsna-padaravindayoh), we will certainly be transferred to the kingdom of God at the time of death. Even if our attempt to be Krsna conscious is not complete, our Krsna consciousness will continue in the next life. This is confirmed in Bhagavad-gita (6.41):

    prapya punya-krtam lokan

    usitva sasvatih samah

    sucinam srimatam gehe

    yoga-bhrasto 'bhijayate

    "The unsuccessful yogi, after many, many years of enjoyment on the planets of the pious living entities, is born into a family of righteous people, or into a family of rich aristocracy."

    If we rigidly follow the principles of meditation on Krsna, there is no doubt that in our next life we will be transferred to Krsnaloka, Goloka Vrndavana.

  2. This simply represents your peaceful flow of life. Wish the answer was as interesting as the question!

    But I hope you appreciate the significance. Few people experience a point in their life when their subconscious is as peaceful as yours is now.  

  3. Your inner mind thinks of many things of your desire. Do you ever remember all what you dreampt the next few days

    If the dreams are good enjoy

    Coyote :North American prairie-wolf

    your thoughts are having no value forget them


  4. It could mean you want to go somewhere other than were you are currently.  You want to discover or unravel something.

  5. I guess it depends upon the dreamer and their own interpretations.

    You may wish to consider "who" is driving or piloting the vehicle, and "where" the journey is beginning..... and also "what" your destination is.

    The mode of conveyance is relevant, as you know. :)

    (your emotional self, your ego self, your past, present and future).

    The meaning is within you.

    Know Thyself.


  6. Ahhhhh, Shiva and Shakti still alive and well, eternal.

    EDIT: I meant that  Shakti is the vehicle and Shiva is the consciousness.
